She has hundreds of thousands of supernatural powers, but she always says she is weak.

Chapter 264 Come and have dinner

Time passed quickly and it was six o'clock in the afternoon.

Blues sent a message: "Save some food, I need to cook today, are you free?"

Zuo Xiuyan smiled. He was really good at punctuality. Every time he made plans for dinner, he would send the message at 6 o'clock, exactly when he got off work.

She immediately replied, "It's rare to eat Chef Lan's cooking, why don't you come? What do you need me to buy?"

"No need. I'll be there in half an hour and tell you the place then."

"it is good."

Zuo Xiuyan continued training and received a message at 45 minutes: "C04 kitchen area."

The kitchen area is located in the upper right corner of the base. It is a place for awakened people to cook, eat and gather.

The distance was not far, and Zuo Xiuyan arrived in 10 minutes.

In front of you is a blue lake that stretches as far as the eye can see. There are many buildings built along the lake, like seaside villas.

Combining modernity and a sense of technology, the simple square metal frame is designed with various shapes in a unique style, and is matched with a transparent floor-to-ceiling window that occupies one wall.

Surrounded by green plants and flowers, it adds a rare touch of leisurely and elegant charm.

Just looking at it makes me want to sit here for a while.

It is divided into three areas, A, B and C. Each number represents an independent house. Zuo Xiuyan walked along the gravel path towards Area C and looked at the metal sign on the door.

C01, C02... until C04, the door of the room was open and Zuo Xiuyan stepped in.

What comes into view is a spacious living room, simple and stylish, just like a residential home. Looking inside, there is an open kitchen next to it. Two people are busy inside, and a prepared dish is already placed on the dining table.

Lan Diao raised his head: "Hey, Xiu Yan, here you come."

Cheng Li also smiled and greeted: "Captain."

"Let me help." Zuo Xiuyan washed his hands.

But at this time, both of them had almost finished what they were supposed to do. They were each standing in front of a stove cooking a dish, and she could only help pass things around.

Zuo Xiuyan took a quick glance and saw that the vegetables on the chopping board were cut into very neat and fine strips. The knife skills must be the work of Lan Diao, and most of the dishes here seemed to be prepared by her.

The time for buying, washing, cutting and cooking vegetables will definitely take more than 30 minutes.

Going back further, if Blues came back from the patrol point by car, it would take at least 20 minutes. And since external vehicles would not enter the base, it would take more than 15 minutes to walk from the gate to the kitchen area.

This adds up to well over an hour.

and so……

"You don't have any patrol today, so it's a good time to rest." Zuo Xiuyan handed over the seasoning with a smile, "I came here one day in advance to prepare it."

Blues took it and looked at it in surprise: "How did you know?"

"Guess."

"Are you reading my mind again?" Blues poured the seasoning and sprinkled it evenly around.

Zuo Xiuyan smiled and shook his head: "How can I read minds?"

The previous message from Blues that he would "arrive in half an hour" was fake. He just made it up because he didn't want to know the location in advance.

Although you can tell me the location later, even if it's late, I will definitely come here early to prepare if I know the location.

Moreover, if you don’t make an appointment in advance, the other party will definitely be afraid that you will go to the cafeteria and miss the dinner.

The reason why Blues went around in circles like this was probably because he didn't want me to help.

So the reason why I didn't want to be there...

Zuo Xiuyan looked at Cheng Li, who was cooking a home-cooked dish with concentration and nervousness.

Lan Diao would never let others touch the dishes she cooked easily. If she wanted to cook, she would cook from beginning to end.

Therefore, this dish was Cheng Li’s own idea and was definitely not cooked for Lan Diao.

In other words, to make this dish, you must prepare the ingredients Cheng Li needs in advance.

When did the two of them contact and communicate?

Blues would not send these dinner invitations early in the morning, nor would he send them during working hours to disturb others. He would choose to send them after get off work.

If Cheng Li learned about it after finishing patrol at 6 o'clock, and then purchased and made it, the time would be too tight. Moreover, it had nothing to do with making him late.

Therefore, it wasn't Blues' sudden idea; perhaps they had already discussed it last night.

This meal is definitely not an ordinary gathering, it has special significance.

Zuo Xiuyan watched Cheng Li's movements carefully again. She added the seasonings very carefully each time and would pause for a moment to think after each addition.

It seems a bit unfamiliar.

This is not a dish she often makes, or perhaps, this method is not what she usually uses.

Now, the chain of speculation in Zuo Xiuyan’s mind was completely connected and closed.

The dishes from Blues had already been served. Zuo Xiuyan took the plate and brought it to the dining table. Suddenly, a head popped out from the door in the distance, with the braid on one side swaying.

The two looked at each other.

The head shrank back in a flash.

Zuo Xiuyan couldn't help laughing and shouted, "Captain Sun, come in."

Sun Mu tilted his head back again and his nose twitched twice.

Lan Diao laughed, "Why are you so sneaky, Old Sun?"

Sun Mu shook his head: "No, I'm just investigating."

Lan Diao continued to cook the next dish: "Since you are all here, let's eat together."

"No, no." Sun Mu shook his head, glanced at the dishes on the table, and then immediately looked away.

"It will be more lively with one more person," Zuo Xiuyan invited.

"Yeah." Cheng Li nodded.

Sun Mu glanced at the table again, then at the expressions of the others, then he turned the rope in his hand and walked in: "Then... I'm here, Old Sun."

She also washed her hands and came over to help set the table.

After a while, all the dishes were out of the pot.

"Would you all like some orange juice?" Blues held the drinks, and since no one objected, she started pouring some for everyone.

The four of them sat down, Zuo Xiuyan and Sun Mu in one row, and the other two opposite them.

Blues said, "Every time someone comes to eat my meal, my happiness will double."

"Come on, let's have a toast first!" She raised her glass.

The four of them clinked their glasses together, and the glasses made a crisp sound.

Zuo Xiuyan smiled and looked at Cheng Li: "Congratulations on becoming a Level 2 Awakener."

"Ah, thank you, Captain..." Cheng Li was stunned.

Lan Diao looked at her and said, "Li Li, look, Xu Yan has the ability to read minds, but she doesn't admit it. I haven't said anything yet, but she interrupted me."

Then he said, “Congratulations.”

Sun Mu also grinned: "Congratulations."

"Thank you." Cheng Li thanked him quickly, feeling happy but also a little at a loss.

After they drank a sip, Cheng Li looked at Zuo Xiuyan and said seriously: "Thank you, Captain, for taking care of me during this period. You took me to many places. My mental strength has increased rapidly during this period, and I have also received a lot of bonuses. So...so..."

"You're welcome." Zuo Xiuyan said with a smile.

On the one hand, this dinner was organized by Blues to celebrate Cheng Li, and on the other hand, Cheng Li must have wanted to cook to express his gratitude.

The unfamiliar movements must have come from coming here in advance to let Blues teach her how to cook a dish herself.
